Memphis Belle doc wins recognition

From Ken Axmaker:

We were informed today that our documentary (that gets no respect in our hometown of Memphis) about our lost icon, The Memphis Belle, has won 2nd place at the BareBones Int'l Film Festival. After being turned down by several local TV stations and film festivals because of controversial content, we are glad to see that the "Memphis Belle -- The Final Chapter in Memphis" is being seen by people outside of Memphis as a true story of what happens when a city's icon is taken away because of a lack of interest by the community.

Watch the (newly) award-winning film, "The Memphis Belle -- The Final Chapter in Memphis":
